Order of the Eternal Light
-
Brother Marius of the Order of the Eternal Light was sent here because of a prophecy.
In that vision/prophecy, they saw a godlike person standing over Arabel. He was dressed in fine black noble cloths, was holding a chalice made of onyx and it was filled with blood. His face was hidden with a gilded mask. In his right hand, he was holding the strings to a puppet that controlled the kingdom. The figure was manipulating what was going on in Arabel from the shadows to create a war. When the rivers ran with blood and the most honorable folks were willing to murder innocent people, then he threw off his mask and garbs to reveal the reborn Lord of Murder.
His order thinks the Black Chalice is the Lord of Murder in disguise.The Brother spoke of this with the Transcendence and learn they knew a god would be reborn in Arabel, ending the silence. They told him that they would help -any- god be reborn, no matter who it was.
Apparently signs of the Lord of Murder have started showing up around. One on the Road to Bospir, one near Tilverton.
Marius said that both Tilverton and Arabel are using forced conscription and that slave soldiers on both side clashing in the war will spill the blood of innocent. And goodly adventurers will be spilling the blood of innocents.... and fulfill the prophecy.
With the ultimatum, if the majority chooses to fight, Marcus said this was the first step toward the fufillment of the prophecy. We'll be killing innocents out there.
Either way, at the first battle, it'll be coming true. I hope its just some wild story. This Lord of Murder sounds like evil incarnated.
We don't need that.
